Stannage edge is a gritstone wall that runs for over 5km, with good climbing up to 20m along most of its
length. No real holds to speak of but with enough friction to do an overhang. Looks fully blank but its amazing
what smearing and hand jams will let you get away with. Some very exposed routes that entail the belayer throwing themselves
down the hill to save the leader. Overall very satisfying stuff.

| Looks so easy, and no loss of skin |

| The Great North Way - exposed lead |

| Freaky 4m run out layback in the middle |
Sadly no shots of the pub where we tackled a tricky 5 pint pitch. Almost took a nasty lead fall on the decent
to the carpark.
